U.S.–Mexico Trade Volumes Hit Record Highs

In 2024, trade between the U.S. and Mexico surged to historic levels — and the momentum has carried into Q1 2025. The port of Laredo, TX, alone saw a 28.5% year-over-year increase in import volume. Retail growth, cross-border e-commerce, and a stable trucking corridor have all contributed to this rise.

Impact: Increased demand for cross-border logistics, strong opportunities for U.S.-based carriers.
